A gap year is a chance to grow intellectually, to give back, to do something important.
Many countries have you do military service or public service or not go to college right away.
And that's something that, you know, unfortunately the United States is almost being pushed into by the pandemic, but
It is a good thing to think about.

is do an apprenticeship or do an internship or shadow somebody again in a normal gap here and say, Hey, you know what?
